Is it manic
this need for laughter?
It’s how I understand
we are honestly together
in the same place

at the same time.
It’s the closest to oneness
we ever seem to come
barring physical intimacy
which is not always called for

or desirable
often inappropriate.
Sometimes
I look into your eyes
I can see no laughter.

If I cannot see laughter
I feel hopelessness
wariness
weariness.
It is to laugh

or else we cry.
When we laugh
we laugh together.
When we cry
we cry alone.
